para.138.12  providing for the consideration of h.r. 2546

  Mr. LINDER, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the 
following resolution (H. Res. 252):

       Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this 
     resolution the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule 
     XXIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee of the 
     Whole House on the state of the Union for consideration of 
     the bill (H.R. 2546) making appropriations for the government 
     of the District of Columbia and other activities chargeable 
     in whole or in part against the revenues of said District for 
     the fiscal year ending September 30, 1996, and for other 
     purposes. The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed 
     with. All points of order against consideration of the bill 
     are waived. General debate shall be confined to the bill and 
     amendments specified in this resolution and shall not exceed 
     one hour equally divided and controlled by the chairman and 
     ranking minority member of the Committee on Appropriations. 
     After general debate the bill shall be considered for 
     amendment under the five-minute rule. Before consideration of 
     any other amendment, it shall be in order without 
     intervention of any point of order to consider the amendment 
     printed in the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying 
     this resolution, if offered by a Member designated in the 
     report. That amendment shall be considered as read, shall be 
     debatable for ten minutes equally divided and controlled by 
     the proponent and an opponent, shall not be subject to 
     amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand for division 
     of the question in the House or in the Committee of the 
     Whole. If that amendment is adopted, the bill, as amended, 
     shall be considered as the original bill for the purpose of 
     further amendment. The bill, as amended, shall be considered 
     as read through page 58, line 4. All points of order against 
     provisions of the bill, as amended, for failure to comply 
     with clause 2 or 6 of rule XXI are waived. Debate on each 
     further amendment to the bill and any amendments thereto 
     shall be limited to thirty minutes. It shall be in order 
     without intervention of any point of order to consider each 
     of the amendments printed in the Congressional Record and 
     numbered 1, 2 or 4 pursuant to clause 6 of rule XXIII, if 
     offered by the Member who caused it to be printed or a 
     designee. Each such amendment shall be considered as read, 
     shall be debatable for thirty minutes equally divided and 
     controlled by the proponent and an opponent, shall not be 
     subject to amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand 
     for division of the question in the House or in the Committee 
     of the Whole. During consideration of the bill for amendment 
     the Chairman of the Committee of the Whole may accord 
     priority in recognition on the basis of whether the Member 
     offering an amendment has caused it to be printed in the 
     portion of the Congressional Record designated for that 
     purpose in clause 6 of rule XXIII. Amendments so printed 
     shall be considered as read. At the conclusion of 
     consideration of the bill for amendment the Committee shall 
     rise and report the bill, as amended, to the House with such 
     further amendments as may have been adopted. The previous 
     question shall be considered as ordered on the bill, as 
     amended, and amendments thereto to final passage without 
     intervening motion except one motion to recommit with or 
     without instructions.
